Hagreves completes Manchester united switch

Manchester United have confirmed that England midfielder Owen Hargreaves will join them from Bayern Munich on 1 July.
United have not yet disclosed the fee for the 26-year-old but it is believed to be in the region of £17m.
Hargreaves has agreed personal terms and passed a medical so now he only has to officially put pen to paper on what is expected to be a five-year deal.
"Owen will formally sign his contract when he returns from a holiday at the end of June," read a United statement.

Hargreaves, who is taking a family break in his native Canada, has been a long-time target for United.
The Premiership champions failed with bids to sign him last summer and in January.
He enjoyed an illustrious 10 seasons at Bayern, winning six league titles and the 2001 Champions League But his final season was plagued by injury and ended with Bayern finishing fourth in the Bundesliga, thereby missing out on Champions League qualification.

The stage is set

The newly rebuilt Wembley Stadium stages its first FA Cup final on Saturday with the most successful club at the old stadium playing the last club to win the Cup final there.
Manchester United, who won a record nine FA Cups at Wembley between 1948 and 1999, face Chelsea, the last winners under the Twin Towers in 2000, with the intense rivalry between the two teams adding spice to the occasion.
If they win, United will become the only club to have won the FA Cup and League double four times following their previous successes in 1994, 1996 and 1999 when they also completed the treble by winning the Champions League.
The final, back home aft0er being staged in Cardiff while Wembley was being re-built, is only the third since League football began in 1888-89 to feature the teams that finished first and second in the league.
The first was in 1913 when champions Sunderland lost to Aston Villa and the other occasion was in 1986 when Liverpool beat league runners-up Everton to win the double.
United triumphed in the title race over Chelsea earlier this month and start as the marginal favourites with the bookmakers to beat Chelsea on Saturday.
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says that the fact United ended Chelsea's two-season reign as champions adds to their determination to win the match.
"We have still got the fire in our bellies. That is what we are going to hopefully show on Saturday because that is what Chelsea are all about.
While Lampard will be hoping to win his first FA Cup medal, Ryan Giggs, who will skipper United in the absence of the injured Gary Neville, will be hoping to win his fifth winners' medal - and the 17th major medal of his career to equal Liverpool Phil Neal's English record.

Eriksson keen on talking to Newcastle
Former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson would be interested in talking to Newcastle about the vacant manager's job.
Eriksson already knows all about Newcastle and England striker Michael Owen.
There has been no contact between the Magpies and the Swede's representatives in the wake of Glenn Roeder's departure.
However, his agent Athole Still has revealed the job at St James' Park is just the kind he would seriously consider.
Eriksson fared well in a phone poll of fans carried out by Newcastle-based radio station Metro, although he is not understood to figure high on chairman Freddy Shepherd's shortlist, which is topped by overwhelming favourite Sam Allardyce with Lyon manager Gerard Houllier today emerging as a surprise candidate.
